JACOB LEINER, OF BALTIMORE, MARYLAND.

COAT-SLEEVE.

Specicaton of Letters Patent.

Application filed January 20,

Patented Apr. 5, 1910.

1910. Serial No. 538,964.

To (LZZ 'whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JACOB LniNnR, a citizen of the United States,residing at Baltimore, in the State of Maryland, have invented certainnew and usetul Improvements in Coat-Sleeves, o't` which the 't'ollowingis a specification.

This invention relates to innorovements in sleeves for coats.

Heretofore coat sleeves have been provided with an internal wristlethaving an elastic band which causes the wristlet to contact closelyaround the wrist of the wearer, and I do not therefore broadly claimsuch.

The object of the present invention is to provide an improvedconstruction of coldair excluder or wristlet ior coat-sleeves, wherebywhile the device shall possess elasticity the size of the wristlet maybe adjusted so as to cause it to fit loosely or closely around thewrist, as desired.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which,

Figure l is a view of' a coat sleeve, and shows by broken lines theposition of the wristlet within the sleeve. Fig. 2 is a view on a largerscale, -of the lower end of a sleeve, and shows the wristlet in section.Fig. 3 is a view looking into the lower end otl the coat-sleeve, andshows the wristlet fully expanded so as to permit the sleeve to bewithdrawn from the arm and hand of the wearer. Fig. 4 is a view lookinginto the lower end of' the coatsleeve, and shows the wristlet contractedas it is when closely surrounding the wrist ot the wearer.

The coat-sleeve, A, aud lining, Z), have the ordinary construction,except that the lining is relatively longer than the sleeve requires inorder that the lower end, o, ol the lining may be secured in the usualmanner by a row of stitches, (Z, to the inwardturned part, c, of thecloth ot' which the exterior' part of the sleeve is composed, and thento provide sufficient fullness in the length of said lining to f'old upat, along said row of stitches, (Z, and again f'old at, g, down andtoward the interior wall of the sleeve and finally fold again at,ZL,-this last fold being upward. The two last named folds, g, and, ZL,are in reverse directions and produce a formation in the lining whichAin cross-section is similar to the letter, S.

The wristlet comprises two parts, a flared band, z', see Fig. 2, and acontractible band, j. The outermost edge, Zr, oi' the flared band isturned downward to form a flare which fits into the annular grooveformed between the down-fold, g, and the 11p-fold, ZL, of the lining,and a row of stitches, Z, secures said downward flange7 Zo, to thelining fold7 g, entirely around the said lining. The contractible band,y', is doubled as at, m, and secured by a. row of stitchesm, to iorm acasing through which an elastic tape, 0, is run. The wristlet has aV-slit, p, formed in both the flared band, z', and the contractiblcband, y'. This slit forms two ends in the band, At one side of this slitare two metal studs, g, spaced apart and projecting outward from theband, y', and at the other side oiE the V- slit is a metal socket, r,which when this end of the band overlaps onto the other end, may engageeither one of the two studs, g, and thus serve to adjust the size andcause the wristlet to fit loosely or closely around the wearers wrist asdesired. Of course the elastic tape, 0, will make the wristletyieldinfr.

Fig. L of the drawing shows the two ends of the band, y', overlappedwhere the V-slit is and in the contracted position, and Fig. 3 shows thetwo ends unbuttoned, the V-slit, p, spread and in the fully expandedposition.

IVhen a person is about to put the coat on, the wristlet must beunbuttoned, as seen in Fig. 3; after the sleeves are on, the wristletmay be closed around the wrist, and the socket, r, is then pressed overeither one of the two studs, g, selecting that one which will give thedesired closeness of it, as in Fig. 1. As the flared band, z', of thewristlet is secured to the sleeve-lining entirely around the lining, bystitches, Z, cold air cannot get up the sleeve. The location of thewristlet in the sleeve is such that it will not be observable when thesleeve is worn. When about to remove the coat, the socket, r must firstbe unbuttoned from the stud, g. l.[f the wearer does not desire to closethe wristlet, he will leave the V-slit, p, spread wide open, as seen inFig'. 3.

This device is simple in construction and inexpensive to make, and isapplicable to garments which cover a limb of the human body; when thecontractible part, j, is closed about the limb, it will exclude bothdust and cold-air.

Having thus described my invention what ent is,-

A sleeve having e lining and provided with a wristlet to excludecold-air and dust, said wristlet comprising a flared band, i, and

I metal socket, r, on the other end, whereby I claim and desire tosecure by Letters Pat- I the sleeve may be worn with the wristlet fullyexpanded, or with the wristlet closed 15 about the wearers wrist eitherloosely or closely. l

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature a contractible band, j, bothin one p1ecef in presence of two witnesses.

the outermost edge of said flared band being stitched to said lining`entirely around the sleeve and said wristlet having a- V-slit, p, whichforms two ends; a plural number of metal studs, g, on one of said endsand a JACOB LENER.
